Pilchard – Classics ’97-’03

Being completely honest, this album was an accident. It was never intended to be an album…

Every track on this retrospective was thought to be lost forever. Thanks to a failed hard drive and an unfortunate coincidence of an online backup failure, many of my creations are gone for good. Shit happens. We move on.

And I had moved on. Many of the tracks you’re about to hear had not only been lost in the literal sense, they had almost been erased from memory. Until that is, my mate Rob sent a mashup he had done using one of my songs. At first, I didn’t recognise it at all. I hit Spotify and listened to everything I had published to date. Nothing. Eventually, the tune rang more and more bells so I asked Rob where he found it. He just happened to have a bunch of my stuff on his hard drive from years back. That stuff is the stuff you are about to hear.
